Hi Aki, My name is Judith, I am the president of Akirachix. I just want to clarify that Akirachix has not received $0.49 million as referred to on the World Bank site. For more information on the grant we were awarded please refer here http://www.infodev.org/en/Article.639.html Best, Judith W: http://www.akirachix.com T: @akirachixs On Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 7:36 AM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
@Erik, thanks for the clarification. Though it is strange that the fund full amount of $492k is marked as Kenyan/Akirachix on the WB site so possibly Min of Info is retaining or that disbursement has yet to take place.
Rgds.

The iHub hasn't received any money for the Akirachix, and we have no access to these funds. From my understanding, the $492k is actually split between multiple organizations in different countries in something around $50k chunks (not sure on the exact numbers), which means there are 9-10 of them.
The only funds that have come from the WB/infoDev through the iHub are for the buildout and operations of the m:lab downstairs and a research project done by Jessica and team.
